Tuition and enrollment (summary and availability)
- The school does not publish a public, grade-by-grade fee table on its public pages. Detailed tuition figures per grade and per term are maintained in the school's family billing/cost certificate system and by the school's finance office. Parents receive specific matriculation and monthly pension amounts through the school's payment/certification channels.
- Published press coverage cites typical ballpark figures for general enrollment costs in 2026 of approximately: matriculation (one‑time enrollment charge) ~ COP 4,152,740 and a monthly tuition (pensión) ~ COP 3,397,697. These figures are reported as approximate and can vary by grade. Use these only as an indicative benchmark, not a definitive per‑grade schedule.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school uses an online payments platform for tuition and other school charges; families access 'Cartera y servicios educativos' through the school's e‑collect/online payments flow to view and pay billed concepts. The instructions specify entering family code, selecting services and amounts, and completing the online payment. Accepted online card payments are indicated on the payments page.
- The academic calendar follows Calendar B (mid‑year start); matriculation (matrícula) is normally charged once per enrollment cycle and pension (monthly tuition) is charged according to the school's billing cycle — exact term/due‑date scheduling and any instalment plan options are set per family account and in the official billing statement issued to enrolled families.
Boarding and residential fees
- Colegio Los Nogales operates as a day school in Bogotá and does not publish any boarding or residential programme or boarding fees. No residential/boarding fee schedule is publicly listed.
Other costs and recurring charges
- Extracurricular programmes: many activities are free (for example some sports and band) while feeed programmes have published annual costs and are billed semestrally. Examples (2025–2026 published schedule):
- Art programme: COP 2,360,000 per year (billed as two semester payments of COP 1,180,000 in October and February).
- Music / Musical / Karate / Robotics: COP 2,300,000 per year (billed as two semester payments of COP 1,150,000 in October and February).
- Textbooks and resources: the school bookstore (Librería CLN) sells and rents textbooks and standardized exams; costs for texts and rental terms are handled through the school bookstore ordering and quotation process. The bookstore also manages lost & found and uniform‑related items. Specific prices for textbooks, rental fees, and uniform items are provided when families place orders or request quotes.
- Transport: school transport is managed via a transport provider (TEHC) with a separate payment flow; transport charges and payment codes are handled through the transport portal and billed separately from tuition.
- Other possible charges that appear in the school's financial reporting include cafetería, caminatas (field trips/excursions), extracurriculars, workshops, international exam fees and other ancillary activities; these are billed as specific line items to families.
Refunds and adjustments
- There is no detailed public refund policy posted on the publicly accessible pages. The school's audited/management reports record "devoluciones en ventas" (sales returns/refunds) as adjustments to income, indicating that refunds or reductions are processed as accounting adjustments, but the public documents do not provide step‑by‑step refund rules or timelines for parents. Families' specific statements and the school's billing certificate are the authoritative records for any refunds or billing adjustments.
Accepted payment methods and payment processing
- Online payments: the school's published online payments guidance uses an e‑collect / online portal for family billing and educational services; the portal accepts card payments (Visa/Mastercard logos are shown) and guides families to add concepts, enter values and complete payments online.
- Bank / collection agreements: the school operates with standard local collection channels and bank collection agreements for third‑party payment processing (families may pay through partner bank collection points or the transport provider portal for transport fees). Specific bank account or convenio codes are provided to families on invoices or via the school's billing portal.
Key practical notes about grade‑by‑grade figures
- Detailed, per‑grade and per‑term tuition tables are not published openly on the public site. Specific matricula and pension amounts are issued to families through the school's billing/cost certificate system and in official invoices; therefore, for precise term‑by‑term and grade‑by‑grade amounts you will need the school's family billing statement or the official cost certificate generated for the fiscal period.
Summary of the most directly available fee figures
- Application fees: Pre‑K COP 300,000; K–12 COP 260,000.
- Press‑reported indicative amounts for 2026 (approximate benchmark): matriculation ~ COP 4,152,740; monthly pension ~ COP 3,397,697 (may vary by grade).
- Extracurricular annual fees (examples and semestral billing): Art COP 2,360,000 (two payments of COP 1,180,000); Music/Robotics/Karate COP 2,300,000 (two payments of COP 1,150,000).
If you need a structured, grade‑by‑grade fee table for your database: the school issues those figures to families through the billing/cost certificate and the family account; those certificates are the source used for exact per‑grade per‑term numbers. The school's public pages and financial reports confirm the existence of those billing systems but do not publish a full public fee schedule by grade.
